It was Monday, all of the selected had been at the castle for a day, meaning that I was ready to start my plan. While the selected settled in, I was glued to my journal as I planned out a sufficient way to spend an equal amount of time with each of the selected. My plan was actually pretty simple, for the next two weeks I am going on three dates each day and one of those three will go home, at the end of the two weeks, in total twelve selected will be going home.

The more and more I thought over the plan the happier I was with myself, three dates a day sounds like a lot but it isn't and I can do it, the guys deserve a fair chance and I'm going to give them one.

I took a deep breath as I knocked on Sir Danny's door, it was nine in the morning so he should be awake. The door swang open as a servant opened the door, "Is sir Danny in there?" I asked as I tried popping my head in the gasp in between the door and the wall.

"Yes your highness, Sir Danny is just getting ready, he might just need a few minutes your highness."

"Okay thank you Pete... your name is Pete right?" He smiled brighten as I asked his name, I always try and get to know our staff, sometimes that gets a little hard when there is a least a hundred of them.

"Close, your highness, my name is Peter."

"I'm ready!" Sir Danny yelled as he raced out of the room and to me, "Sorry it took so long."

I shook my head, "No need to apologise Sir Danny."

"Sir Danny, that sounds funny, you can just call me Danny, Princess."

"Then you must just call me Kerttu," he smiled.

"Of course!"

So it turned out that Si– Danny and I didn't go on a date per-say, Danny and I walked around the castle talking and taking in each other's company. Danny was adorable, the whole time we were speaking I could just hear the fanboy inside of him going off.

My date with Sir Edmund was uneventful, it isn't a bad person but he was just... boring. My date with Sir Clay will hopefully be better, after diner I told one of his servants, Jorden, I think his name was, that Clay needs to get ready for a date. From my small interaction with Sir Clay he seemed like a decent guy, he was polite and enjoyable to talk to, hopefully, our date will be like that.

Ad I reached Clay's room I seen him standing outside with a beautiful bouquet, he smiled as he saw me and bowed, "For you, Princess," Clay said giving me the bouquet.

"Oh, thank you." The flowers were blue, yellow and light pink, they were roses and neatly tucked into a white rapping, "These are beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like them." Clay and I walked over to the library, that's we decided to have our date, it turns out Clay enjoys reading just as much as I do so I thought it would be the perfect place for a first date.

As we walked into the library Clay had a speechless type of face, there was at least eight-hundred-thousand books. I never really thought of it as much but I guess the library is quite cool. "Woah, I have never seen this many books in my life!" He said as he wandered around the room, I giggled, I don't know why. "No, seriously. This room is about the size of my house!"

"Well feel free to borrow any book. We have everything, we literally any book you can think of."

"Do you have The Ghost by Annalyn Addington?" The Ghost, I don't think I have read that but somewhere it's probably on the paranormal shelf.

I pointed over to a large corner of the room, "Probably, just take a look in the Horror section. The books are sorted by author."

Clay disappeared into the Horror section and about after a minute of silence I heard him speak, "Yep, The Ghost by Annalyn Addington! Wow, this library really does have everything," he said with an impressed laugh.

So far, two out of three dates were a success, hopefully, the rest of my dates with the selected would be enjoyable like Danny and Clay's.
